Air Duct Cleaning in Sentul

Lint-clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires and make dryers run long and hot. Annual cleaning of the vent run — not just the lint trap — restores airflow, cuts drying times, and removes the fire risk. It's cheap relative to the risk.

There's no fixed schedule — clean when there's visible mould, vermin, renovation dust, or significant debris buildup. In practice every 3-5 years is typical for forced-air homes, sooner after building work or if filters blacken quickly.

Usually per system or per vent: a flat whole-house price for an average system, with surcharges for extra vents, multiple air handlers, or heavy contamination. Dryer vent cleaning is typically a smaller separate line item.

The pattern: a $50-100 'whole house special', then on-site claims of hidden mould with photos that may not be from your ducts, pressure-selling sanitizer fogging at hundreds extra. Legitimate firms quote by vent/system count, show you findings in your own ducts, and never pressure same-day decisions.

A typical single-system home takes 2-4 hours with a two-person crew. Larger homes, multiple air handlers, or heavy contamination stretch to a full day. Be suspicious of anyone promising a whole house in under an hour.

Evidence is mixed for routine cleaning of already-clean ducts. It clearly helps when ducts contain mould, construction dust, pest debris, or blockages. Pairing cleaning with better filtration and sealing duct leaks delivers more measurable benefit than cleaning alone.

Almost always biofilm in the drain pan and coil, fed by year-round humidity — not the ducts themselves. A proper service cleans coil, blower and pan first; duct cleaning is added when supply grilles show black dust.
